Retention strap

With vehicles which do not have a back panel behind the seats the metal structure is free and in the event of a crash loads can shoot through the seat and injure the passengers.

The mission is to find a special arrester for loads:

-        It must be very light and slim
-        It must be possible to incorporate it into the metal structure
-        It must withstand a very great force without tearing (UTS > 900 N) and it must not damage the fabric.

The very robust fabric tape is cut to length, perforated, affixed with a metal bracket, which is then sewn into the turned over flap of the tape.

Applications

  • Vehicle seats
  • Protection from loads
